Eater's best new restaurants in America

Turkey and the Wolf
quote:
Building upon NOLA’s heritage as an iconoclastic sandwich town, Mason Hereford, Lauren Holton, and their crew (including 2017 Eater Young Gun Colleen Quarls) create a new world order with their wild imaginings layered between sliced bread. Fried bologna on white, crowned with molten American cheese and a handful of potato chips; speckled rotis layered with pot-roasty lamb neck or spicy fried chicken salad; a tomato sandwich buried under basil and dill: This is Ph.D.-level stoner food. Potent cocktails, an over-the-top salad or two, and smart desserts like a hand pie inspired by chicken potpie round out the concise options. The restaurant’s raucous Instagram account is a trip unto itself (and useful for learning about the day’s specials). Read my full review of Turkey and the Wolf here. 739 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans, (504) 218-7428, turkeyandthewolf.com

Xochi
Melon salad
Ignore the beige corporate blandness of the Marriott Marquis lobby that houses Hugo Ortega and Tracy Vaught’s latest — and arguably greatest — restaurant. Once you’re settled into the calming dining room, the meal becomes kaleidoscopic in its evocation of place — which isn’t H-Town but Oaxaca, with its prisms of moles and its masa-based specialties shaped into myriad geometries. In the specificity of dishes and the calibration of earthy, sweet, and gently spicy flavors, Ortega’s cooking is as exhilarating as any of the swank Oaxacan restaurants trending in Mexico City. A few keywords to seek out on Xochi’s menu: memelas (a thicker tortilla cradling roasted pork rib), tetela (blue-masa triangles filled with house-made cheese), and molotes (crisp oval cakes swathed in creamy and spicy sauces). Lunch service stands equal to dinner in excellence, a rare feat these days. 1777 Walker Street, Houston, (713) 400-3330, xochihouston.com

Damn. In St. Louis until Sunday and tempted to hit Vicia for their lunch or midafternoon service.
Have the kids with us, and had only scheduled one meal without them and were doing it a Nixta.
Hit Bailey's Range before ballgame yesterday. It's alright. I wasn't impressed as I was the first time I went. I would have preferred to hit Sugarfire. Not sure where else we're eating while here, though.

Turkey and the wolf is so average. Stein's is way better and is nearby.

No surprise. He'll have to find a way to get by selling three thousand $7 lattes per day from his coffee shop.

Altamura was hot garbage.
Had one of the worst eating experiences of my life there.
The bill was outrageous and it took literally 2 hours and 3 minutes to get our food. Trust me, I started keeping track. Multiple tables just got up and left.

Turkey & Wolf is good for what it is. Kind of like a decadent, cheat meal type place with almost a diner-like feel.
Im just curious but what has brought them so much acclaim in regard to Beard Awards and polls such as this?
I mean they are serving soft serve with french fries stuck in it. It's almost like art that everyone knows is terrible, but there is that one hipster that starts a movement stating "you just dont get it breh!".

I had it yesterday. It is really below average in a city filled with sandwich joints.

Welcome to Altamura. No, you cant come in the front door - we'd rather feed you average food in the basement with 6 foot ceilings.

Himitsu Karaage and biscuits Among the restaurants on this list, Carlie Steiner and Kevin Tien’s 24-seat spot is the hardest to package neatly into an elevator pitch: “Sushi plus global plates” doesn’t nearly capture its charisma or quality.
Himitsu is co-owned by a friend. Great guy, great food.
Fun fact, he's from Lafayette and stayed in Baton Rouge for quite some time.

I'm really not sure. I like TATW but I have never walked away thinking it was anything more than just an okay restaurant.
I will say if any restaurant could ever be described as "hipster" it is TATW

And don't you dare try to park in our parking lot if you're coming here!
It was such an odd place.

I used to wonder what will be the stereotype fashion of this decade (my 20s) will be when my kids look back at like I did to the 60/70/80s to my parents. I painfully realized that it is going to EDM outfits and hipster in expensive clothing made to look like cheap second hand out on display in faux-candid photos of themselves drinking PBR in front of graffiti wall that says, love.
I bring that up because Turkey and the wolf's Instagram is terrible.

It's good, but it's not that good.
It was in Food & Wine magazine recently, too.
